Women's Health

A ten-year-victim, as a female teenager, of the (Chinese Communist)
“Cultural Revolution”, I found my life under the heavy
impress of the abusive and brutal actions of Communist party cadres in
that period. Because my father was a “counter-
revolutionary” intellectual and I — thus — the child
of a bad person, I was forced to work in the fields and to do all the
dirty work, as a means for the peasants to exact revenge against a
privileged middle-class girl from the city. This included dealing with
human and pig stools as well as soaking my feet for long periods in
cold-water swamps during the implementation of agricultural water
projects, in particular when I was having my menstrual period. In
consequence of too much of this sort of exposure, I ceased to have
periods for an entire year. After I drank many bags of herbal
formulas, the menstrual cycle finally returned, but with heavy
cramping and a darkly clotted flow. Each cycle was a
“hellish” experience. Both my physical and mental health
were ruined for many years by the reckless dictatorship with its
oppressive political ideologies and inhuman practices.

My dream was to become a gynecologist so that I would be able to
help other women suffering from female discomforts.
